Cozy Cottage 2 short blocks from the beach- This is your quiet get-away to surf and sand. Neighborhood setting and a short walk to the beach.

A 15 minute drive from the new Panama City Beach airport!

Can see the ocean and dunes from our location! And the beach is practically your own! Easy beach access. We are away from the crowds and noise of Panama City Beach, but close enough to mix with the crowd when you are in the mood. So drive up the road for music and great seafood, or stay home and walk to the beach and listen to the surf.

Get away from the fast lane of the city, and enjoy our quiet beach home. Pet friendly!

And please remember that this is our summer home, and we love to share it. But treat it as your own so others and our family will always enjoy it. We hope you find it a wonderful get-away as we do! Go to travelehome and put in #54451 for more photos.

Perfect vacation

I can't say enough good things about this cottage. It was just the right size for our family and had everything we could have asked for. The full kitchen was great and having a washer and dryer was super convenient. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach which was not crowded at all. We enjoyed sitting on the enclosed porch in the evenings and even took a bike ride around the neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

Owner's Response: Thank you, Renee. So glad you had a nice vacation and enjoyed our house and the beach. And our bikes for a ride around the neighborhood! Hope you will be our guests again, and remind me that you are a returning guest for our discount.

Owner's Response: Thank you, Michael, for taking the time to review us. Although I know the weather did not cooperate, happy to know you enjoyed the accommodations. Hope you can return in the summer when the sun shines more!

Cute Cottage

We stayed a week at Bataan Cottage. This was our first visit east of 30A. The beaches are VERY lovely. The housekeeper greeted us and made us comfortable. She mentioned the Publix and Winn Dixie that are close by, and Carousel down the road where there are wine-tastings on Friday and Saturday. You will enjoy the front screened-in porch from where you can see the gulf. And hear the waves at night. The cottage itself is what I call "Old Florida" and is cute and charming. We toured PCB and Panama City and St. Andrews, and then drove one day to Apalachicola-a drive not to miss. Wish we were there as I write!!!

Owner's Response: I am late thanking you for your review, Ty! So glad you enjoyed your stay at our Florida home. One of our most valuable resources is our housekeeper. She is a longtime PanamaCity Beach resident, and treats our house as her own with not only cleaning but decorating too!

Location & house were both awesome!

This was our first time staying on the west end of PCB. We had no idea that such a place existed in Panama City! The area was nice, quiet, & not crowded at all! The beach was great! Not crowded, plenty of room to put up a shade tent, and best of all...no pay-to-use rental chairs taking up all of the space on the beach. The house was small, but provided plenty of space for our family (3 people & two dogs) to get around in very comfortably. The owners were great & easy to communicate with. We plan on coming back next Summer!

Owner's Response: Thank you for your feedback! We think our end of the beach is special for its' space and quiet walks. Hope you will return next summer as our guests again, and bring your furry friends! We are pet friendly.

Great location and easy access to the beach

If you want to avoid being in the middle of everything and having some peace and quiet this place is perfect.We had a great time in this cottage at the quiet end of the beach.Sitting on the screened in front porch at night is as peaceful as it gets.Relaxation at its finest for me.Once you make the 1 minute walk to the beach you will have all the space you could ever need or want.There are people on this end,never very many,and there is so much open space for setting up for the day.The location is/was perfect for the two of us and our dog.I think he enjoyed it as much as we did.There was plenty of room for another couple if we had brought friends along.Highly recommend this place and the owner is a pleasure to deal with.We'll definitely be back if they will have us.

Location

From the Owner

“Our beach house is located in a quiet neighborhood where we can open the windows on a summer night and hear the waves pounding the surf, or sit on our large front porch and watch the night come. For me, this is my summer home where I get away to sun during the day or ride my bike to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Then later after taking in a movie at home, I take my ice cream bar and walk across a deserted beach road and sit on the beach steps and stargaze. Can't do that in Atlanta!”

Pier Park a few miles away, where you can find shopping, restaurants, amusement park and movies theatres. A new carousel for the kids, or young adults! A dog park where your dog can explore and run free. And further up the road, a wide choice of restaurants and shops up and down the beach. Dine by the water or play Goofy Golf. Or just enjoy the pier at night, the night surf and/or some volleyball. The famous Carousel grocery store , and Thomas' donut shoppe a bike ride away, and the new Panama City Beach airport a 15 minute drive away. West End is away from noise and clutter but accessible to the East End where recreational activities and restaurants, bars are located, or to the continuation of 30A to find Rosemary Beach, and Seacrest beaches. Plenty to explore if that is your pleasure or just stay home and enjoy the view from our front porch when you are not swimming or sunning. Ride a bike up the beach road for ice cream or donuts. Join other neighbors at the beach steps with a glass of wine to watch the sunset.

Notes:

We are on the quiet end of Panama City beach, but not too far from lots of action! Open the windows and listen to the surf at night. Or take a quiet stroll in the evening on these beautiful beaches. Join others who regularly watch the spectacular sunsets at dusk. And when you are ready to see some more people and music, take a short ride up the beach road and find anything to your liking. From very casual to very formal. It's all there!!
